We had a great weekend. We upgraded the stadium tickets to the best on offer and we were very pleased to be further upgraded to VIP a couple of days before. Fabulous trip.
Madrid is fabulous.
I visited Madrid to watch the football with my 8 year old son against Eibar. From the flights to the hotel everything went as planned by Footballbreak.co.uk. We arrived at the hotel and the tickets were already waiting for us at reception. The weather was brilliant and the city was excellent, lots of small bars & cafes etc to grab a bite to eat. I would recommend anybody who wants to travel abroad to watch football to use footballbreak.co.uk. My son described the day of the match as 'the best day of his life'.
If you are visiting Madrid to watch football i would recommend visiting the Irish Rover which is basically across the road, the staff are very polite and the food etc was excellent!
FootballBreak did an amazing job making this trip the best it could be for me and my family. The service was excellent, very quick and simple without any problems. We had to change a passenger on our trip and they sorted it within the hour. The hotel was great, central to everything. Madrid was basically a smaller, cleaner London, with plenty of atmosphere throughout the city. The best part of it was that last minute FootballBreak upgraded us to VIP at no extra cost. Overall, FootballBreak did a fantastic job and i would definitely use them again!!!!
Just make sure if you book to watch a football match, make sure its not a game before a champions league match. As we saw Real Madrid vs Eiber and Madrid rested some of their big stars, as they were Playing Atletico Madrid on the Tuesday. But even so it was still amazing to be their and take in the atmosphere and the hospitality of being in the VIP area plus Ronaldo and Modric still played.
The whole package was great. When we arrived at the hotel we were handed the tickets for the match. We didn't pay any extra for the seats and still had a great view. We stayed at the Barcelona Princess. It was a bit further out of the city but really easy to get to on the metro or the city sightseeing bus which stopped at the door. Hotel was great - minibar was free and refilled every day. Payed for an extra night and glad we did as there is so much to do in Barcelona. Overall my boyfriend loved his 21st birthday trip and is now planning another.
Get a T-10 metro card. It gets you 10 journeys for 10 euro (one journey is 2.25). It is also transferable between people. Just put it in the machine and pass it to the next person
The package was very easy to purchase and the instructions on the site were easy to follow. All questions were answered by phone or website in a timely manner. The city of Madrid is a clean and very friendly city, we found it very safe and access to the stadium was great. You cannot get better than a trip to see the worlds best football club, and you will see why when you go. Great football,food,helpful staff, and what was great was to see so many families with children having a great time in a safe and friendly environment.
I would recommend staying on for a few extra nights as we did as there is so much to see and do.
